This example makes 3 reservations. The first one reserves 2001:db8:1::100 address
for the client using DUID 01:02:03:04:05:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E. The second one
also reserves an address, but does so using MAC or hardware address, rather than
DUID. The third example is most advanced. It reserves an address, a prefix and
a hostname at the same time.
This example includes reservations for 3 different clients. First reservation
is made for the address 2001:db8:1::100 for a client using DUID
01:02:03:04:05:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E. Second reservation is made for two addresses
2001:db8:1::101 and 2001:db8:1::102 for a client using MAC address
00:01:02:03:04:05. Lastly, address 2001:db8:1::103 and prefix 2001:db8:2:abcd::/64
are reserved for a client using DUID 01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0A. This
last reservation also assigns a hostname to this client.

and <command>prefixes</command> are plural and are actually arrays.
When the client sends multiple IA options (IA_NA or IA_PD), each reserved
address or prefix is assigned to individual IA of appropriate type. If
the number of IAs of specific type is lower than the number of reservations
of that type, the number of reserved addresses or prefixes assigned to the
client is equal to the number of IA_NAs or IA_PDs sent by the client, i.e.
some reserved addresses or prefixes are not assigned to the client. Though,
they still remain reserved for this client and the server will not assign
them to any other client. If the number of IAs of specific type sent by the
client is greater than the number of reserved addresses or prefixes, the
server will try to assign all reserved addresses or prefixes to the individual
IAs and dynamically allocate addresses or prefixes to remaining IAs. If the
server cannot assign a reserved address or prefix because it is in use,
the server will select next reserved address or prefix and try to assign it to
the client. If the server subsequently finds that there are no more reservations
that can be assigned to the client at the moment, the server will try to
assign leases dynamically.
